1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade (I MEB) military members and forces from the 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group are scheduled to participate in Large Scale Exercise 2014 (LSE-14), a joint, bilateral training exercise, from August 8-14. Training will focus on contingency operations that will test the ability of the MAGTF to conduct shaping, fires, and maneuver operations through live, virtual and constructive training platforms. The intent of this training is to enhance I MEB command element's ability to conduct C2 operations. Additionally, LSE-14 provides I MEB the opportunity to work with Canadian forces during joint, coalition operations to enhance interoperability and effectiveness on the battlefield.
